Chapter 37
The An Kingdom had no choice but to dispatch a hundred thousand elite soldiers to face the forces of the Xia Kingdom.
Thus, the combined forces of the three kingdoms dwindled to only 500,000 troops.
The pressure on the Mo Kingdom greatly decreased, even if they were to die, they would die a bit slower.
At this moment, the Xia Kingdom launched a massive production campaign throughout its territory and even carried out extensive military training along the border, presenting a scene bustling with activity.
However, former Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang and Grand General Chai Yulang were drinking on the side, sighing deeply and frequently.
His Majesty is becoming more and more confused. He has conscripted a million refugees to mine, reclaim land, and dig canals, not only paying them but also providing food. How can our national treasury sustain this? Once we cant provide money and food, that will be the end of it!
Yes, and he has also sent troops to attack the An Kingdom! Goodness, we havent even resolved our own domestic troubles, and now weve offended another powerful nation! This is truly I dont even know what to say anymore!
Old Chai, you should go and persuade His Majesty!
How can I persuade him? Whoever tries to persuade him gets dismissed; its simply impossible to persuade him back!
What should we do then?
Both of them frowned in distress, resorting to drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
Just then, a crisp voice came from outside.
Father, Im back!
Grand General Chai Yulang, who was drinking, was overjoyed: Haha! My daughter has returned!Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
The Prime Minister also smiled, My niece has returned, lets go see her!
Both of them immediately stood up to welcome her.
They saw a woman dressed in a red martial outfit, with delicate features yet a heroic bearing, rushing in energetically. She loudly exclaimed, Father, your precious daughter has returned! Oh, Uncle Xiao, youre here too. Yuxin will greet you in just a moment!
No one stopped her, and Chai Yuxin rushed into the imperial palace with ease.
However, she was infuriated when she saw Lin Beifan still calmly drinking wine, with a beauty in his arms.
Lin Beifan, Im here and youre still
Lin Beifan pointed to a stool beside him: Yuxin, youve arrived. Please, take a seat and have some wine!
Chai Yuxin grew even angrier: Drink what wine? I dont have time to drink with you right now!
Lin Beifan smiled faintly: This is your favorite bamboo wine, just warmed over a charcoal fire. The flavor is rich and mellow; it would be a pity not to drink it!
Chai Yuxin sniffed and discovered that it was indeed her favorite bamboo wine, and immediately her craving for a drink kicked in.
Hmph! After I finish my drink, Ill teach you a lesson!
She picked up the drink and downed it in one gulp.
Lin Beifan poured her another, and she finished that one just as quickly.
After several rounds like this, she finally felt satisfied and pointed at Lin Beifan, saying, Let me tell you, dont think that a few drinks can
Lin Beifan suddenly spoke up, Do you want to become a general?
what? What did you say? Chai Yuxin was bewildered.
Lin Beifan said with a smile, What I mean is, do you want to lead troops into battle like your father, to become a female general who rides across the battlefield, and leave your name in the annals of the Qing history?
Uh!!! Chai Yuxins eyes widened.
